Faction History
Review the dry annals of Branton’s City Histories and you shall find reference to House Mosfin wherever an individual wore the crown. Yet, the crown no longer belongs to those who wear the purple and gold, for the noble house has been displaced. The last few kings opposed Mosfin’s control of all things political, forcing the great house into military action in an attempt to regain that which they believe was stolen from them.

Years of warring caused attrition within their ranks, and when the Raging Rivers War fell upon the city, House Mosfin could offer only a small percentage of their previous strength to the defense of the city. Once the smoke of the battle had settled and the swollen rivers had receded, Mosfin’s enemies made use of this to press the once great house further away from the throne.

Now pitted directly against the Glory of Kalim and House Bluefane for control of the general populace, House Mosfin is facing their greatest challenge. Some cry out for change, citing a stagnancy that is killing their House, and others hold fast to their traditions, refusing to seek alliances. Despite these internal conflicts, the Raging Rivers War forced new leadership into prominence within Mosfin’s ranks, and these men and women are determined to do whatever it takes to secure the throne. The purple and gold will fly again over the city palace, or House Mosfin will grind itself into dust in the attempt!

Heraldry
The heraldry of House Mosfin is stemmed in their history of royalty and claim to the throne. The purple field symbolizes their royal majesty and the centuries during which they sat on the kingdom's throne. On top of the purple field is found a yellow slash, or ordinary, which is a symbol of both their great generosity to the people and their role as defenders of the people.

There are two charges on their heraldry, the first being the ram, a symbol of authority. The second charge is a set of three crowns, again showing their royal authority.

Blood of Kings!

Where Lorisa fails in her skills of etiquitte she excels in her skills with her prized daggers. Lorisa isn't known for her gentle words or her silver tongue, but she is respected none-the-less.
	Katlyn Bromar Daughter to a deceased lord, Katlyn found she had little chance of inheriting the family fortune due to her five elder brothers. Fearing she'd soon be married off into a life with no merit Katlyn found the world of politics and intrigue a welcome escape from reality. Her interest in politics, however, soon took on a life of its own as she was suddenly thrust into the mix and found to have significant skill in influencing others and promoting her ideals. With the recent death of her father her brothers have tried to marry her off but with her strong political ties she has managed to thwart their efforst thus far.
	Inspector Crowther Inspector Crowther is often the target of concern and suspicion. His methods of law enforcement have led to countless arguments with his superiors, but the one thing they can never argue with is his ability to get results. Crowther has solved more criminal cases than any other officer and never seems to rest. Still, his methods are a constant thorn in House Mosfin’s side despite his successful track record.
	Feronant Domar With a genuine smile and a firm handshake Feronant Domar has secured for himself a lifetime of politics and intrigue. The only son of the deceased Elars Domar, Feronant has proven himself more than adequate in maintaining control of his family's holdings.
	Hews Etherin The Etherin family has been loyal to House Mosfin since its beginning. Due to their near fanatical allegiance, the Etherin family retain the title of "Sword of Mosfin" and with it the primary part of defending House Mosfin and its interests. Hews, for his part, has proven his might and valour in countless occasions and may very well be one of the more fierce heroes in the land. If a fault is to be found in Hews it would have to be his complete lack of restraint on the battlefield. It is not uncommon to find him alone challenging an entire division.
	Orea Falant Orea has few skills, but the one she does have has been more than sufficient for her to further her political aims. A beauty with no match in the city, Orea has found few men willing to turn down her desires in order to further theirs. While not the ideal politician, Orea has friends in all the right places.
	Berrens Garnain Honor means little to the Garnain family, which has built their power through false accusation and political slander. Although not loved by his own house, Berrens is an asset few are willing to discard.
	Jorman Hewson The Hewson line has only recently come to prominence in House Mosfin. Their climb to the forefront is likely due to Jorman Hewson's sharp wit and his ability to control others through intimidation and verbal abuse. Jorman is often described as a burden to his enemies and a warning to his friends.
	Amena Huur Mistrusted by even her own faction, Amena Huur comes from a once-powerful family who was decimated following a failed political coup. Despite all of her family’s wrongs of the past, Amena continues to fight for power using every option at her disposal.
	Cadgius Minsk A pillar of strength to his house, Cadgius Minsk vies not only for control of his faction but the city itself. Years of experience in legal matters have given Cadgius a formidable ability in legal matters as well as a solid portfolio of lesser politicians and law officials capable of fulfilling most any aim Cadgius desires.
	Senator Mirrows Senator Mirrows is one of the few politicians who is as effective in combat as he is in the courtroom. Having spent his youth training to be a soldier it wasn't until later in life he realized his real passion was politics. While some may see his youth as mispent, Senator Mirrows finds it to be the final bargaining chip for closing those hard-to-reach agreements.
	Lorwin Mistaire While most members of House Mosfin find little need for religion, it is Lorwin Mistaire who constantly strives to bring them into balance with the gods. Sensing the changing tides of society Lorwin has found his place in both politics and religion.
	Eian Perone Only a few decades back the Perone family was a minor house within the Mosfin faction and held little sway within the city. Recently this has begun to change under the direction of Eian Perone, a master of debate. With such linguistic skills Eian continues to gain influence both within and without House Mosfin.
	Domian Rickson The Rickson family was sorely disappointed with the development of Domian as a youth. Clearly unable to grasp the finer aspects of the political game, Domian was viewed as a failure by his father. Disheartened by his father’s rejection, Domian soon joined a mercenary band and left to find his place in the world. Years later he returned home to find his father and mother deceased and his family lands being carved up by other notable families. His younger brother, unable to stem off the wolves, was more than ready to receive any assistance possible. Angry and desirous to reclaim his family’s rights, Domian quickly made use of the skills he had attained as a warrior and salvaged what was left of his family’s holdings. A powerful warrior and a giant of a man, Domian Rickson has found his place in the world of politics through military strength.
	Lerimar Rickson Lerimar found himself the unprepared heir to his family’s holdings all too suddenly as his father and mother both died within a matter of a few months. Young and lacking sufficient guidance Lermiar quickly found himself mired in a political game far beyond his capabilities. Only the unexpected return of his estranged brother Domian allowed Lerimar to reclaim a state of control of his family inheritance. Now Domian and Lerimar jointly maintain control of their family’s estate.
	Droman Tregorian When people talk of Droman Tregorian it tends to be with either great praise or in hushed voices behind closed doors. In his view, you are either his supporter or you are filth ready to be cast out of the city. While many people may live by philosophies like this, Droman can back up his opinions. The Tregorian family has maintained a powerful position in politics for centuries and with Droman leading them this will likely continue for centuries to come.
	Rowen Tregorian Droman's younger brother, Rowen prefers the figurative shadows to his brother's spotlight. Rowen uses this position to manipulate House Mosfin's standing within the political arena.
	Triere Volorn The Volorns are rich, and with wealth comes power. As a member of the Volorn family Triere is no stranger to using money to garner additional riches and power. Triere has also received some of the best schooling available and thus excels in her ability to debate and argue. Regardless of the topic at hand Triere has some input and the influence to back up her point by any means necessary.
